For capturing birds without mutilating
or in any way injuring them the ground
trap is as simple and at the same time
effective mode as any. When properly
constructed it will trap many species of
birds, such as the thrush End others that
feed on the ground; indeed, the cunning
blue Jay, so difficult to capture, may be
caught with the ground trap.

FOUND OIL.

The Wichita Mining and Investment Com
pany is feeling rather jubilant over late re-
suits from their well. At depth Of 135 feet
a porous stratum was reached which con-
tanned oil and salt water, but majority OF
the latter. After going five feet in that
stratum the mixture of oil and water filled
the well to a point near 100 feet from the
surface This will necessitate casing, and
boring will be suspended for few days for
that work.
Some days ago it viii be remembered that
salt. water was reached, and it was then
thought that casing would have to be done.
The flow Of salt water proved, however, to
be only sufficient to supply the demand
for water III doing the work. The flow in
the present stratum is by far too vigorous to
work against without a casing. 1t is not
known how thick the stratum is. 1t is sup
posed, however, that it is at least twenty
feet.
The indications so far are considered very
flatteripg. The presence of oil insures gas
in the anti climal axis of the stratum. 1t
may not be found in the present well and
again it may. The sand near fifteen hun
bred below the surface is thought to be the
one to give the best results. The formation
may be such at that point as to give gas and
not oil

SURPRISED.

An Cd gentleman from Oberlin, Ohio, yes
teriay in front OF the Manhattan hotel said:
81 came here with two of my sons, one lives in
Topeka, Kansas, and the other at Elyra,
Ohio We rode over the city and Were per-
fectly surprised. The building boom here
exceeds anything the imagination can pic
ture When l FIRST struck a good Kansas
town l thought there seemed to be a good
many new buildings, and the next place
seemed TO be more and the next more But,
said he, when l struck Wichita it seemed that
all the enterprise of the great state had cul-
minated at this place and the effect is won
derful to behold. | heard before l came here
that Wichita was dead. If this is death, it
is better than life. l wish that my town in
Ohio could die the death that Wichita is
now dying. l am now prepared to believe
anything prophisied of this great wonder Of
the west"

ARRIVALS.

The hotels of the city are crowded beyond
capacity. Before 10 O'Clock last night every
cot in every hotel in the city was engaged.
Some Of the hotels run tw enty cots but they
are all occupied all the same.
In conversation with an old hotel man in
the city yesterday, he stated that lie was
compelled to refuse as many people nowadays
as ever. "Many times the house is full be-
fore the late trains arrive. The clerks some
times get tired saying mo- to peoples nqul-
ries. In fact, never saw this city so crowd
ed with people, Men come here to locate
in business before getting residence built.
They are compelled to stay at the hotels
until their house is completed. Al
though it don't take but few days in
Wichita to build residence many are COM
PEELED to wait the few days in hotels"
II don't believe there is city the size OF
Wichita in the world that is visited by 50
many people. Il beats all the watering
places and popular resorts in the country.
People have long since found out that q
good site for business is to be looked for as
well as anything else. As there are more
people coming here than to any other
city it would be natural to expe
that more towns, counties, cities and states
should be represented by our visitors But
glance at a register shows people from al
the various sections of the country. This
feature is almost daily becoming more ap
parent. That speaks well for the city and
don't look like busted city"

had pried it open with a jimmy. So strong
was the door that it must have taken, said
carpenter, at least weight Of LOCO pounds
to have broken it down. The thief or
